I built custom aeroquip oil lines going to the oil cooler on my
ur-quattro. They mated up to the stock MC oil filter bracket through -10
1.5x18 adapters, I think. Ben knows for sure and I have the exact info
in my garage notebook. I had never made lines before. Just followed
the directions, cut and screwed everything together and it has been
working fine with no leaks. Total cost was <$130 to build 2 lines.
